Both minocycline and tetracycline have been so overused/misused in the aquarium that many strains of bacteria have built up a resistance, unfortunately. In addition, because minocycline can cause kidney damage, I now try to avoid it whenever possible.

sarav, haha, well Tikibirds has informed me that Betta Revive was discontinued so I'm sorry I misled you there.

No big deal! I had to find something to treat him with anyway, even it wasn't the Betta Revive. I just started the API Liquid Fungus Cure. It's a different color then the powdered kind (not as green). Since I have a 2.5 Gal tank, should I empty his tank completely tomorrow night instead of the waiting the 48 hours like the package calls for? For Day 3 it says to change 25%, should I just do 25% or a full tank change again?
